Derive the formula for kinetic energy
Answers
Answer:
1/2 mv^2
Explanation:
Expression for Kinetic energy(Ek)-
Consider an object with mass m, moving with initial velocity u. Let a force F, act on it causing a displacement s, along the direction of force and accelaration. Let the object attain final velocity v.
We know F = m x a ------------------------ 1
By position velocity relation we have,
V2 = u2 + 2as
or s = v2 -u2 / 2a ----------------------------- 2
The work done by the force
W = F x s -------------------------------------- 3
Substituting 1 and 2 in 3
W = (m x a) x (v2 - u2/2a)
W = m/2 (v2 - u2)
W = 1/2 mv2 - 1/2 mu2 -------------------- 4
For an object to be at rest in the beggining, u = 0
Therefore, W = 1/2 mv2
W = Ek ( Ek = kinetic energy)
Therefore, Ek = 1/2 mv2
Answer:
Let us considered a body of mass 'm'moving with velocity 'v' having a displacement 's' . Also considered the body starting from rest and therefore the acceleration produced in the body is 'a'
if if a force 'f' acts on the body,
= f = ma
or , a =f /m ........eq.2
From eq.1 and eq.2
Therefore..
due to this work the object acquires the capacity of doing work.
therefore,
its its kinetic energy (k)= work done(w)=1/2mv^2
hope it will help please mark as brainliest.
